West Surrey Racing enters constructors’ championship

By

Reigning teams and independents champions West Surrey Racing will compete for the constructors’ championship in the 2015 BTCC season.

It was announced at media day at Donington Park today that Dick Bennetts’ squad will be classified alongside Honda, MG and Infiniti in the manufacturer/constructor standings this year.

Triple world champion Andy Priaulx and former Triple Eight Racing man Sam Tordoff join established driver Rob Collard at the team, running the all-conquering BMW 125i M-Sport machines.

Although the team is not formally backed by BMW, teams which build their own cars are eligible to enter the manufacturers’ championship – as last seen with the Arena Ford Focus STs between 2009 and 2011.
